From his patients, from rich and poor, from Queen Victoria to the humblest occupant of a hospital bed, Lister won admiration, resâ€" pect and liking. ‘"He likes the little yins best and the auld women," a little street urchin once said, as Lister passed from his bedside, and from that simple statemenat one gains (conâ€" cludes the Express) a good idea of the man who revolutionized surâ€" gery and robbed the knife of its terrors. Lister not only introduced a new regime of cleanliness into the inâ€" firmary. He refused to believe that blood poisoning was the inevitable camp follower of the knife, and, with Pasteur‘s experiments to point the way, started the investigations which led to antiseptic surgery. "Before Lister tho doctor paid no more need to cleanliness than any other man. . . Before an operaâ€" tion the surgeon would turn up the sleeves of his coat to save the coat, and would often not trouble to wash his hands, knowing how stained they soon would be. . . . The silk or throad used for stitches and ligatures was hung over the button of the surgeon‘s coat, and a conâ€" renient place for the knife to rest was between his lips." * pointed Professor of Clinical Surâ€" gery in the University of Glasgow, and a year later the directors of (ilasgow Infirmary ‘"appointed to their hospital the young surgeon who was to make its wards the sceno of one of the greatest triâ€" umphs of mankind.‘" That was in 1827; 33 years later Joseph Lister, after giving promise of a brilliant career by his early work at College Hospital, was apâ€" ‘‘When Lister was born the shadow was probably deeper than at any other timeâ€"so deep, in fact, that it threatened the very existence of inâ€" dustrial populations."

The following little caleulation may be commended to those who think the west is making too fret a pace. We owe it to Mr. J. J. Haslam, a wellâ€"known weeterner. The cash value of the 1913 crop for wheat, oats, flax and barley may be put at $123,â€" 539,900. The indebtednesa of the farmers is estimated at $125,000,000. Of this $60,â€" 000,000 is owing to mortgage companies, $35,000,000 to machinery companies, $20,â€" 000,000 to merchants, and about $10,000,000 other debts. If the western farmer were to take oneâ€"seventh of his crop each year, not an outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way ‘?ropnrtion. thinks the London Canadian Gazette, to pay off his debts, he would be clear in seven yeare, and economically vastly better off than any farmer in the world. Black fox farme are now being etarted in Alberta. There is one near Edmonton which has already been in existence some monthe. The Imtans are getting wise to the big profits that are being made out of black foxes, and are contemplating a raise in the price of the valuable aniâ€" male which they trap, and which they have hitherto been selling for a eong. Even the Indian will turn. It seems that there are victime of wildeatting in black foxes just as there have been victims of wildeatting in real estate, and will unâ€" doubtedly be victims of wildeatting in oil. Ouly in the first caee the victim is the poor Indian, whose untutored mind is only juet beginning to comprehend the dark ways and vain tricks of the white man. Much of the eupposed ecientific advice now being sold for m price is really litâ€" tle more than folklore. A great many of the statements which are veed as arguâ€" ments have been traced by the governâ€" ment specialists and found to come trom works on diet written so long ago as to be no longer considered of valuo except to the student of the history of diets. The truth of the matter is, however," adds the statement, "that man‘s chances of health are best when he eate with moâ€" deration a dict made ug of clean, wholeâ€" some, ordinary foods, well gmpued in the usual ways. Proper cooking sterilizee foods. If the deductions of many food faddists accepted as facts were really operative, it would be difficult to explain how the human race had survived." The department adds a warning against the danger of alleged mail cures sold by "dietic experte." The public who eat, and they are largely in the majority, have become alarmed at the campaign of the food faddists and have come to regard with suspicion the most harmless articles of diet. A bulletâ€" in recently iesued by the United States deâ€" partment of agriculture will aid in reâ€" newing a waning confidence. "Bome of the advocates of freak diets are eincre, but are themeelves deluded," says the warning. "Others are fakers who seek to make monetary gain by advising peculiar systems of diet. Neither claes can offer trustworthy advice. In most of the reâ€" commendations of these selfâ€"established ‘experts‘ thero is hardly a ehadow of reason, though they may seem plausible. One of their methods of reasoning is to use jeolated and often unrelated facts of ecience as evidence that their peculiar sysâ€" tem is of value. They completely ignore statements in current historical and scienâ€" tiflc literature which could negative their contentions. Much depends on the way in which the amount is reckoned, the items included, and the different articles taxed in each country. Railways in Germany, for inâ€" stance, form almost & state monopoly; in France tobacco is a monopoly. Military expenditure in Germany ie higher than in France, but, compared with the populaâ€" tion, it is less. Germany spends more than France on foreign effaire, but less on colonies. Public powers and adminisâ€" tration, justice, eto., cost more in Gerâ€" many, or, at any rate, in Prussia, than in France. The expenditure on educaâ€" tion seems pretty equal in both countries, France sacrifices more on behalf of comâ€" merce and public worke, and Prussia more for agriculture. mt ie t . sn on APi o vollls 2 Bc of the young men and boys has become more robust. Disease has been lessened. There is less vicious pastime, and moralâ€" ly, mentally and phyeically the nativee have benefited througg that change. What has brought about the improvement? Reâ€" ligious workers, doctors, health officers, teachers? All have helped, of course; but first among the civilizing factore, eays Mr. Frederick Chamberlain, the author of ‘‘The Philippine Problem," have been base ball and other athletic «ports. Comparing Budgets. M. Rene Lauret hce recently given somse interesting comparisons between the naâ€" tional e?endiwres of France and Gerâ€" many. any attempts have been made to ascertain the exact average amount in taxation per head of the population paid in each country, but the resulte are too contradictory to make it poseible to acâ€" cept them without reeerve. M. Y. M. Gobâ€" let puts it at 165 france in Germ;nio:nd 142 frames in France. M. Jules he, again, estimates that the Prussian pays 59 francs against 98 franes in France. The Bulletin de Statieque et de Legislation Comparee makee the amount paid by each person in Germany 51 francs, and the writer thinks the last two estimates nearâ€" er the truth than that of M. Goblet. During the American occupation of the Philippines conditions in the island have greatly improved, even though there may yet be much to accomplish. Numbers of the natives who a few years ago were living as savages now build houses and cultivate plots of ground. The physique The aesociation also went on record against the "unnecessary «laughtering of heifer calves as a step in a campaign of education to prevent a further shortage in the country‘s meat eupply.‘" Another recommendation made was that legislation be enacted preventing the killing of calves for veal. It is estimated that 9,000,000 are elaughtered in the United States each year while if these calves were allowed to reach the age of three or four years, the supply of beef would be increased 9,000,000,000 pounds, Canada should profit by these recomâ€" mendations. Farmers ehould raise more cattle and go in for mixed farming inâ€" stead of confining their eole efforts to the growing of grain. As far as Ontario and Eastern Canada is concerned, it would seem to be wisdom to go extemsively into cattle raising owing to the removal of the American â€"duty with the â€" consequent greater demand from that country for beef cattle.
